Kaante Maze Poster

One of my favourite movies is Kaante. It is a Bollywood film from 20 years back, released in 2002.

Set in a sepia-yellow tone for its visual aesthetic along with powerful narration, the film begins and ends with an interesting connecting note.

I realised that the film starts with the song lines of

"Sochna hai kya, jo hona hai hoga"

(Translation: Let's not think much, we will see what happens)

and ends with

"Socha nahin tha, taqdeer yahaan laayegi"

(We didn't think this would happen)

How ironical!

This connecting note gave me an idea to make this poster where both ends of a maze puzzle are connected with these lines.

In the movie, one major character is of "Major" (yes) who is an emotional, funny and witty thief, leader of the punter (gang), played by Amitabh Bachchan. I used the word "Major" as a part of the correct answer for this maze.

I recorded the process of making this poster to see how many hours it would take. The total screen recording was 16 hours long including breaks. The process took roughly 7 hours to complete, minus the breaks I took. It is equally puzzling to make a maze.

Watch the process video if you'd like a peek at the answer for this maze.
I have sped up the video to 10000x to bring it from 7 hours to around 6 minutes. During the playback, the video zooms out to show the actual speed.

In this download file you get the poster in 4 colours- Sepia Green, Red, Black and White as a printable PDF.
The poster looks great at print sizes A2 and larger.
